Definition

Program synthesis automatically constructs programs that satisfy a specification, often via search and validation.

Role in VSAVM

VSAVM query compilation resembles synthesis: candidate query programs are proposed using retrieval and schemas and then validated by execution and closure checks.

Mechanics and implications

Synthesis without validation becomes guesswork. VSAVM’s validation is bounded closure and conflict detection. This rejects candidates that look plausible by similarity but fail under consequences.

Further reading

Program synthesis is a large field. VSAVM applies the idea to executable queries and macro routines under explicit budgets and auditability requirements.
